Question

The refractive index of water
with respect to air is 1.33,
The refractive index of air
with respect to water will be:​

Answer 1

Answer:

Refractive index is the the ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to its velocity in a specified medium.

The refractive index of water with respect to air is 1.33. So, the refractive index of air with respect to water will be the reciprocal.

Therefore, refractive index of air with respect to water will be 1/1.33 = 0.75.

Hence, refractive index of air with respect to water will be 0.75.

Answer 2

Answer:

if refractive index of a with respect to b is X then it will be 1/X for b with respect to A

as 1.33 is 4/3

so refractive index of air with respect to water is 1/4/3 =3/4
